I found a pattern that I think will work once I figure out the diameter of the circles I need to cut. http://www.budget101.com/crafts/fcp2.htm Jo Marie

Or put them in your socks while you're in the shower to warm the socks up before you put them on. ------ Check my blog :) http://snuzalsews.blogspot.com/ Juki Exceed F600, Babylock Imagine, Janome 300E.

Obviously the person who designed it knows very little about electronics. ------ - Jan I show people how to turn their sewing hobby into a business at sewingforcash.com

I was looking for a stand for my new larger cell phone, as my older stand is now too small. I printed out the pdf from http://www.budget101.com/crafts/fcp2.htm, printed it using the 'actual size' setting, and cut out the adult bean bag pattern. I cut six from cotton fabric and sewed them together using a 1/4 inch seam. Then I sewed straight across the top/smaller end. I cut a circle of fabric approx 3-3/4 inch diameter and sewed to the bottom, leaving an opening. I used orzo pasta to fill the bag about 3/4 full. I hand-stitched the hole closed. Next time, I will use fusible stabilizer on all pieces, especially the bottom circle; maybe leave a straight section open for filling rather than on the circle; use small dried beans for filling, although the pasta works fine (it was all I had available.). I did not use a lining, but I could make another bag using leather/vinyl/etc and put the cotton one inside. This went together very quickly. It could potentially be a good quick gift idea.
